How should dancers wear their hair?Female dancers' hair should be in a bun on the crown of the head. Male dancers should comb/slick their hair out of their face.
-
What if my daughter's hair is too short to be put in a bun?No worries! If hair is too short for it all to be pulled back, please pull the front back so that it is not in your dancer's eyes while performing.
-
Do performers have to wear makeup?Performers will not be under bright lights so makeup is not required; if you chose to wear makeup, we recommend gray tones for the eyes and a burgundy shade of lipstick. For many dancers, wearing makeup helps it to feel more like a special performance.
